More than 200 golfers teed it up in a special scramble at Skerries Golf Club on Friday to celebrate 100 years of the Kinsella family’s involvement in professional golf.

In its essence, theirs is the story of Irish professional golf over the past century - a story of hardship and joy, of love for the game, of friendships, of persimmon and glue, of rubbing shoulders with the greats and beating them occasionally. Added together, the golfing lives of three generations of Kinsellas are so replete with great tales than even the seemingly mundane stories take on epic proportions.
